The Maritimes

St. Andrews, NB  St. Andrews, NB, a pleasant and mildly upper-crusty coastal resort town just across the Passamaquoddy river from Maine, was our first stop. An old fort sits above this weird red sandstone point. 
Rustico Island, PEI  The next day we drove across the hideous new Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island, and camped at Rustico Island in Prince Edward Island National Park. The campground was nearly full, but the sites are huge, and we felt like we were all alone with the mosquitoes. 
Sand Stadium at Rustico Island  Sand Stadium at Rustico Island. This was supposed to be Ebbets Field, but it metamorphosed into something like Lobster Park. Not a soul walked by the whole time we were on the beach. And people are worried that the new bridge to PEI will bring too many tourists! 
Pettipas Market, NS  Chris almost got eaten at Pettipas Market in Nova Scotia, just across the Strait of Canso from Cape Breton Island, where we had wonderful seafood chowder. 
Cape Breton Highlands  Typical view from scenic overlook in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 
Ingonish Beach  Ingonish Beach in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. A few minutes later, those sneakers (and mine) were nearly washed away by the incoming tide as we waded in the Atlantic.
